SUMMARY
In 2008, IBM recognized a unique opportunity to provide new leadership where leadership was urgently needed. Specifically, to educate the world of the fact that the technology existed today - to make the systems of the world - energy, traffic, education, water - work better. Work SMARTER. IBM had the technology and know-how to build a Smarter Planet if we could just muster the will to build it. As a result: the Smarter Planet strategy has expanded IBM's market potential by as much as 40% globally, or $2.3 billion dollars.
